I have some figures which I wish to display in landscape, with rotated captions.
I can achieve this fine using the sidewaysfigure
environment from the rotating
package.
I want to also ensure that the PDF document automatically displays in the right orientation for the reader.I can achieve this using the landscape
environment from the pdflscape
package.
I can't however seem to combine both of these for the effect I want. If I try encapsulating the sidewaysfigure
in the landscape
environment I get my graphic rotated 180 degrees (the page does display in the right orientation on screen however).
\afterpage{\begin{landscape}
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics{image}
\caption{caption}
\label{fig:label}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{landscape}}
Doesn't work – figure displays incorrectly.
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics{image}
\caption{caption}
\label{fig:label}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
Figure displays correctly, but PDF document doesn't recognise that this page is landscape so displays automatically in portrait when viewed on-screen.

Don't use sidewaysfigure within landscape - it will turn your figure twice. A regular figure should suffice:
